Talking to a loved one about in-home care can be emotional—especially if they feel resistant or unsure.

In this Compassionate Care Tips video, Reed and Alex share ways to ease that conversation:

✔️ Listen and validate their concerns
✔️ Use gentler language—“helper” or “assistant” instead of “caregiver”
✔️ Reframe the need: “ I could really use the extra support”

You’re not alone in this. The right words—and the right care—can make all the difference.
